Finally able to finish a marathon in the Wizard, just keeping upright. Wind chop was okay, but powerboat wash saw me stop paddling a couple of times; compound waves from several boats was worst. I thought it's a 5kn limit above Windjan Bridge?
One year in the DR I couldn't get thru' the Windjan bridge into the wind, pulled out. Tough course! 7 DNF's, and others took swims....

Got stuck on a log just before the right rocky drop, Mitchel Vogel passed me there, and altho' i pulled back ahead briefly he pulled away steadily. At one stage I thought I was gaining on Gidgie, but that was vain hope. Kieran Simpson also shot past me while I was making a meal of a turn at Big Root bend.
